Further to a discussion that was going on over at the forums about the seeming stupidity of many of the smug atheists who post on these numerous “sceptic” message boards, this dude pretty much nails it:
Edit: Here’s another video called “Most atheists are stupid” (emphasis mine) which has a more accurate title but is also presented better [...]
Not exactly a libertarian video, but I wouldn’t want anybody to think I wasn’t a fan of science after the recent Dawkin’s post. I’ve been humming this for days; it makes me happy:

Speaking to the problem of evil existing in the world despite the many claims of an all powerful and loving god Epicurus famously wrote:
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.

…outlaw discrimination against any group in the “provision of services” from health care to shopping, would restrict the right of a [...]
Borodog, an extremely insightful poster at the 2+2 politics forums, wrote this article that I think is extremely useful if you’re a believer in evolution and an atheist but having trouble with ideas of a stateless society (like I was about a year ago):
First, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Hans Hoppe, George [...]
One of my favourite videos, made by the powerhouse over at Fringe Elements Ryan Faulk.
I have basically always been an atheist. My parents never pushed any religion onto me and none of it ever made any sense or was convincing as I grew up. When I started listening to lectures by Richard Dawkins on his Atheism [...]
